The OECD proposes a programme of work to contribute to the enhancement of performance of higher education systems, which includes a different approach from league tables and rankings - a benchmarking...

Cognitive Developmental Robotics aims at understating human's cognitive developmental process based on the constructive approaches utilizing robots as a tool or computer simulations. In this talk, I...

In the last years the traditional ways to keep the increase of hardware performance to the rate predicted by the Moore's Law vanished. When uni-cores were the norm, hardware design was decoupled from...

This book presents an introduction to the field of applied evaluative informetrics, dealing with the use of bibliometric or informetric indicators in research assessment. It is written for interested...

We present randomized algorithms with a total update time of O~(m \sqrt{n}) for the problems of decremental single-source reachability and decremental strongly connected components on directed graphs...

As humans, we are faulty. So is the software we build. Can machines help us counter our mistakes? The programming language community is committed to pushing the limits of how automated techniques can...

Short Bio and AbstractsFrancesco Lissoni is professor of economics at GREThA – Université de Bordeaux and ICRIOS Fellow at Bocconi University in Milan. After his PhD at the University of Manchester,...

The talk will deal with the problem of inferring causal relationship from observational data, presenting a review of the following topics: the problem of induction, role of probability in induction,...

The talk concerns the design of code protecting transformations for anti reverse engineering applications. These technologies are widely used in code protection (e.g., IP protection or key protection...

The term structure of interest rates embeds relevant information for analysts, policy-makers and investors. With the start of the financial crisis and the unconventional monetary policies pursued by...

Large networks are being generated by applications that keep track of relationships between different data entities. Examples include online social networks recording interactions between individuals...

Trust-region methods are a broad class of methods for continuousoptimization that finds application in a variety of problemsand contexts. The basic principle consists of iteratively optimizinga model...

Multiagent systems are distributed systems in which multiple independent computational entities (agents) interact, but none of them has a global view of the system, nor knows exactly what the others...

In this seminar, I will present a distributed approach for the estimation of all the quantities needed for the cooperative manipulation of an unknown load, i.e., kinematic/inertial parameters, time-...

Dynamic networks are a common phenomena across domains, including the social sciences and history (e.g. friendship networks, messaging networks), archeology (e.g. artifact networks, trading networks...

As it is well know, the source of healthy kidneys are deceased donors and living donors. However, deceased donors are far from being sufficient while incompatibility issues are a relevant obstacle in...

In the last few years, the increasingly rise of new forms of computing devices is dramatically revolutionizing the way users create, consume and interact with data. Portable and ubiquitous computing...

Knowing the social context may allow a system to provide socially-aware services to the visitors. Evidence of the social context can be gained from observing/monitoring the visitors’ social behavior...

Organizations maintain process models that describe or prescribe how cases (e.g., orders) are handled. However, reality may not agree with what is modeled. Conformance checking techniques reveal and...

What kind of a discipline is AI?. Is it an empirical science, like, say, Physics or Cognitive Psychology? Is it a mathematical science, like, say, Topology or Set Theory? If neither, what could it be...

In this talk I will give an introduction to sequential posted price mechanims (SPPMs), and cover some of my own work in this area as well. SPPMs are a type of auction in which there is a single good...

Abstract:The target environment for lunar/planetary exploration, such as the surface of the Moon and Mars, is covered with fine granular material, called regolith. The wheels of an exploration rover...

The recent history of innovation has shown a progressive change in collaboration models enabled and facilitated by the Internet, from models such as distributed resources, shared mails and discussion...

For a long time, structured business processes (e.g., the ones of public administrations, of financial institutions, etc.) have been the main subject of workflow related research. However, in recent...

As computing and communications devices become increasingly pervasive in our modern life and culture, the applications that they support touch us in myriad ways. Games have become a central component...

In this talk, we introduce a novel incremental and active learning classification approach that can be used with any local or global set of feature descriptors extracted from a segmented video stream...

Nonparametric methods and some new results on hypothesis testing withnonparametric efficiency estimators are used to analyze the effect oflocally-available high performance computing (HPC) resources...

The last many years have seen the emergence of a new class ofdatabase systems which I am calling Modern Database Systems (MDS). They areclassified broadly as NoSQL and NewSQL systems. Apart from the...

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics: The future belongs to themWorkshop in honor of Luigia Carlucci Aiello on the occasion of her retirementWhen and where: 28 Maggio 2015, Aula Magna Dipartimento di...

Incomplete data is ubiquitous: the more data we accumulate and the more widespread tools for integrating and exchanging data become, the more instances of incompleteness we have. And yet the subject...

With the development of declarative programming, more and more programsthat solve practical problems are available online. Ideally, we should be ableto reuse them by first finding suitable components...

The standard theoretical approach to evaluating queries on incomplete databases is to compute certain answers. Their main drawback is very high complexity of query evaluation. In practice, SQL relies...

On February 25, 2015, starting at 2:00 PM, a workshop at DIAG will present some research issues on safe and autonomous physical human-aware robot interaction, from the EU project SAPHARI and beyond....

In an interactive story, the audience's actions have some influenceover the events that happen next, but they rarely know the precisenature of that influence. This lack of knowledge is important for...

In this talk I will give examples of simplifying principles which have been elaborated during evolution for movement and perception in living organisms. The examples analyzed during the talk include...

The Internet presents compelling reach, cost and capacity properties that drive more and more forms of communication to use it as their network of choice. These properties stem from a few core design...

The System Dynamics Italian Chapter (SYDIC [1]), in collaboration with theDepartment of Computer, Control and Management Engineering “AntonioRuberti” (DIAG [2]) of the “Sapienza” University of Rome,...

This paper analyzes third-degree price discrimination of a monopoly airline when markets are interdependent because of congestion. The model features business and leisure passenger markets, where the...
